Midafternoon after the snowstorm, a few strollers were about, along with some people scraping their windshields clean. Sidewalks were clear on Germantown Avenue but spottily elsewhere. Outside Kilian's Hardware was standard fare: a snowblower, shovels, sleds and firewood. Kids and teens seemed to be out in the most numbers, But the most action, and there wasn't as much as usual given the 22 degree temperature was at the Water Tower Recreation Center where families gathered with their sleds, inflatables and snowboards for rides down the wavy hill. It was gleeful. Dan Taylor was taking movies of his daughter Camille and her friend Mariana from Columbia, students at Masterman, as Mariana experienced sledding (and slipping off) for the first time.
I Surrender All notes
A Faith LO to remind myself to be thankful for everything I have, which is plenty, even when I'm broke, or sick, or sad.

Drafts of Surrender photo project. Drafts of Surrender photo project. The colors don't look right in jpeg form. They look less washed out and have more blue tonal variations in the original files.
A completely different lighting and set up, I wanted more drama, hence the direction of the light.
This is a small series.
These two are supertoned performers.
I salute them. M, (*_*)

Surrendered to the ER vet for euthanasia at 18 months of age because of a prolapsed uterus, Bebe was in trouble. The Er vet took one look at her sad face and called Legacy Boxer Rescue to see if we could help. We are trying, Bebe. Please help us help Bebe. www.savetheboxers.com.
She had her surgery consultation this morning (Feb 25, 2010). She is critically anemic. She will get a transfusion to get her red count up, and they hope to have her in surgery by this afternoon. The estimated cost for the procedure is $1,800-2,000.
Both the transfusion and the surgery are high risk so she needs everyone's moral support right now!
Update - 2/25 6pm - It was touch and go, but Bebe made it thru surgery and is stable!! She could still take a turn, but they got the bleeding stopped and she is starting to "pink up" again. (pink gums, pink tongue - it means her heart function is good and her blood is flowing good)
They think that she was pregnant and that at some point early on, the puppies died. Then her body had complications reabsorbing them, and then tried to proceed like a live birth.....that's when things went very wrong.
We are hoping that she can stay stable on her own and avoid another blood transfusion.
Final Update 2/26/10
We got a call from the surgeon late last night.
Bebe was doing great when out of the blue she had a grand mal seizure and they were unable to resuscitate her. The surgery center shares the same space as the emergency clinic, so she had round the clock care.
The vet said that when he left at 5:30 she was alert and trying her best to figure out how to get past the cone to lick her incision. He has no idea what could have happened. He was devastated because he thought we had pulled her thru.
Bebe is now running happy with our beloved babies at the bridge. Although she could not stay with us, she knows we tried and she will always be one of our own.
Thank you all for being there for her.

On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee (right) surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant (left), effectively ending the American Civil War. This tableau at the National Presidential Wax Museum in Keystone, South Dakota depicts the event, which took place at a courthouse at Appomattox, Virginia.

The engineer of this eastbound NS stack train waved the white flag (towel, t-shirt, pillowcase?) as he passed by fans assembled at the Iron Triangle in Fostoria. Hiding from the paparazzi?
Have any railfans disappeared from the Iron Triangle?

Unconditional Surrender is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen.

Very cool surprise to see this while walking down the street.

//fifty-two weeks of design
This week's design is inspired by a message I heard from mister Cole NeSmith. The guy's a beast. There's no doubt God's doing crazy awesome things through him. Check out his wonderful thoughts.
On Sunday, he shared with us a few thoughts about conforming Jesus to my selfish image, versus conforming myself to the image of Jesus. I distinctly remember, though, him speaking about surrender — how things don't start working until I let go of my desires and the things I do for my gain.
Now, this surrender isn't the giving up type of surrender. It's not the failure type of surrender that means you've lost it all, either. No, this surrender goes beyond that; it's when you begin to let go of the things you have for something, or someone, that's bigger than what your thoughts could ever conceive. Because it is when we don't surrender, we truly fail, because the burdens of this Earth are too heavy for our shoulders to bare.
Sometimes we try, and try to do something our way, and as much as we can try, as small as the task may be, it doesn't always work out. And we get frustrated when that happens. But I think it all begins with surrender, because it's when you surrender these things that God's massive plan starts making sense in our lives.
